Also in Brisbane today, Anna launched a major new $250 million health building program and plan to train a team of 30 nurse practitioners to work in the State’s busiest Emergency Departments.
Anna said new rehabilitation beds were also part of the plan to free up the State’s busiest EDs with the total building program creating over 1000 new jobs.
“This plan will help unclog our hospitals and make them more efficient so they can treat more Queenslanders,” Anna said.
“My Government has listened to senior doctors and nurses at our public hospitals about how we can best tackle bottlenecks head on and we will deliver for them.”
